Well don't beat yourself up entirely, Timppaq is very good driver. Now I must stop spamming 888's thread and get outta here and go to bed.

Thanks Mate!! ..as are both of you guys too!

Thanks 888, for providing a winner tune for the showdown.. 👍

 

[888 Tuning]

Don't know exactly how this works but I am looking for a car/setup to help me conquor the S7 and S10 events. Already tried some but my mediocre (craplap champion) qualities leave me in the tail of the race all the time, or in the middle at best.
Best cars could be the tuned Renault, the Mines or the Amuse.
If tunes have already been given a referral would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Mate,

I have a sweet tune for the Amuse S2000 that will get you a podium in both those races.. will shoot it through when I get home from work.

The Car which is impossible to drive is the GT40, i mean is it really a car or a drag racer. It's uncontrollable.

The standard GT40 is tough, but can be dialled in to eliminate most of its nastiness and make it a fun car to drive.. let me see what I can do for you.

ofspunk7 has really sorted this car out and has a sweet tune indeed, but I had a message last night in GT5P news saying our races would be updated on 22nd (tomorrow) so at this stage we wont spend time tuning for a race class that may disappear in 2 days... Lets see what we end up with and then watch the frantic tuning houses try to keep up with the demand

Hi 888, awhile back I asked about the Acura RSX. Do you think it has enough pwr to compete in the PP600 Suzuka?

 

[888 Tuning]

Hey guys,

I have been doing some work on this car for a while. Its a bit of a favourite of mine and one of the first cars in the game I really got into. I have a few different tunes of this car floating around, but have set one up here specifically for PP600 - Suzuka.

Enjoy and feedback definately appreciated.

Hi all,

888 tuning was kind enough to PM me a setup for the Amuse S2000 to conquor the S7 and S10 events that I struggle with - apparently I'm not the only one - before completion of all events. His setup is:

For S-7 and S-10 use the Amuse S2000 Turbo.. . First is with gears for Fuji
: Amuse S2000 tuned
Suzuka PP700
Power -21
Weight 102 (My machine says it takes 98 to match 700pp)

1st 2.697

4th 1.175
5th 0.976
6th 0.829
7th 0.659
Final Gear: 5.477

For S-10 change Final Drive to 5.500 : )

I gave it a short go before work and found it an amazing setup 'cos of its stickyness to the black stuff - even without aids - especiallly the box work makes the car feel much more balanced than with the original tune. The events have not yet been won but I'm sure they will be soon. My alterations to the tune are

Power -24%
Weight 95%
Downforce 20/24

These are based on my driving style needing the least form of understeer and wanting just a little oversteer to support fast cornering.

Thank you so much 888 tuning for your work 👍

Now I need some time, much practice and lots of stupid AI to win these remaining events

 

[888 Tuning]

Hi 888, awhile back I asked about the Acura RSX. Do you think it has enough pwr to compete in the PP600 Suzuka?

hi Mate,

Had a look at both the Honda NSX type R and the Acura NSX.. The Acura is going to end up down on points and doesnt feel like it is happy on the S2 tyres.
Of the NSX variants, I would lean towards the Honda over the Acura as you have more flexability with the tune points and it is a lighter car to begin with.

However if you do like a challenge, have a crack with the Acrua and let me know how you do.. i think you fill find it a tough car at Suzuka with 600PP to play with : )

 

[vukmeister]

Thanks 888 for taking a look at this. But I think i'll pass at the Acura and Honda for now until we get the R3 tires back anyway. I tried driving both these cars on S2 and I think the best I ever did in Suzuka was a 2'31". I'll stick to the Audi R8 or Ferrari F430, for me their both pretty easy to drive on S2's. By the way, I've been using your R8 setup and have been constantly finishing in the podium with it. It's perfect the way the car matches my driving style. The first time I drove this car, I got the hang of it right away as if i've been using it for a long time, i was in awe at how easy it is to drive. Now I know you've tuned this back for R3 tires, would you recommend any changes to the gearing or suspension? I was just curious if the car could beat an F430 around Suzuka. Speaking of which, i'm so glad you posted a tune for the 430!! As suggested from another thread, the only thing i did to this one was to match the PP level and lowered the brakes to 3 / 3 around suzuka. I also changed toe to a -.08 / +.04, yes, i have no clue what I'm doing but i seem to get by with these sets. Good thing you posted it, I can't wait to get home now to try it. Thank you so much for your tireless dedication to the tuning challenged.

 

[acearchie]

Hey, Im a new member therefore can't PM but I was wondering can I have a nice tune for the NSX (honda) for the highspeed ring (S-1 I think). I just seems that the back end spins out too much and when I go to control it it spins the car....

I can normally get to about lap 3 but then im screwed as I push to catch first!

 

[dg4kc]

Now then, could someone please post a setting for the F40, i notice a few requests int hsi post people are satisfied with, struggling to do the one lap so please share

Hi Mate,

Happy to give you a tune for this car, let me know which track / event and points you are chasing


*** Guys I had a request to add a shortcut on page 1 for all tunes I have made public, which has now been done. Should make life a little easier than trolling through pages of posts

Good Job 888

Thanks for the Z06 I didn't had much time to make a review yet, nut will come soon...

PS : the hotlap I am doing isn't 750 pp it's Full option so Max power around 814 pp

aahhh so a total outright no holds barred fastest lap !! nice.. i was thinking about this the other day wondering if we should post up a thread for it to see who is the outright king of speed.

 

[888 Tuning]

Seems that this car has drawn a lot of attention lately with a few tuning houses working on a secret weapon.
888 is no different and for the past week I have been spending a lot of time with this car with the number one goal to crack the 2:00 min barrier at Suzuka and it has been tuned with this in mind.

So here is your chance for glory and the title of the first to crack that elusive 2:00 barrier (personally I believe this car is capable of 1:58's)

Ford GT LM Spec II Test
Suzuka PP750
Power -16
Weight 85
Tires R3 / R3
Aero 17 / 35
Ride Height -9 / -15
Spring 8 / 7
Damper 8 / 7
Toe -0.09 / +0.22
Camber 1.6 / 2.0
Brakes 7 / 8
Torque Split na
Steering Angle 30
Traction OFF
ABS 1
1st 2.288
2nd 1.632
3rd 1.218
4th 0.932
5th 0.789
6th 0.686
Final Gear: 5.000

Please let me know how you go, the car is brutally quick and needs a steady hand, but it will reward you with some blisteringly fast lap times.

This tune will replace the current GT LM Tune published in this thread.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Wow! This tune is almost the exact opposite of TLD's setup and probably more similar to the one I was using before. I'll try it out in a couple of hours when I get in from work and let you know how it compares. Front shocks look awfully stiff!

 

[Beerz]

Hey there,
Could you please PM me a setup for the RX-7 for use on the PP600 races at Suzuka?
It must have a controllable rear under braking, and that's overall steady through the S's while driving fast but smooth with the wheel. Those are my main requirements.
Anything's better than the one I have right now, anyway.

Thanks, mate. 👍

Yep, they are stiff. The weird thing is that my initial setup for this was rather different from what it is now and based on traditional tuning of an MR/RR car, but there was a real big problem with this car diving under brakes when turning in that was causing a lot of the crazy oversteer problems. I tried a lot of different suspension combos to try and dial this out yet still keep the car working quick, holding its line and really nailing the apex... this was the end result, be interested to hear how you go, its certainly the quickest car I have lapped Suzuka in.

 

[H20HYBRID_GT]

However, you cannot tune 3rd to 0.122 I reckon its 1.122? it better is cuz that's how i done it lol it's late here, so im not entirely sure

Like all 888 tunes i like this one a lot 👍 although this maybe is little too wild for me , one little mistake ... and into the sand it goes!

I made some adjustments to suit my style more :
downforce F: 20 R: 35
springs F: 8 R: 9
damper F: 9 R:9
brakes F:7 R:6
everything else : no change
EDIT: oops i just checked my GT and it has R3 tyres! LOL it was really late when i wrote and i was sure i put R2 in the front
But i was right about 3rd gear though, heh? Still have mine 1.122, will check out the new setting anyway, great tune!

10/10

888 made the GT LM just fly around Suzuka
Thank you 👍

 

[P3nT4gR4m]

Had a try round suzuka last night but, tbh, I wasn't that enamoured with it. Much prefer TLD's setup. Also you need to do something with the gearbox - way too slow! Try dialling the final back to 3.000-3.500 ish. Less gears == more speed.

 

[888 Tuning]

Thanks for taking it fo a test anyways P3nt4gr4m...

The gear side of it is interesting as I did a lot of testing with both setups, and with a 5 gear setup it does feel faster cause there are less gear changes but all the tests I did showed it wasnt.. The easiest comparison is the front straight of Suzuka where i tried both setups and there was no way I could match the acceleration of the 6 speed box above with a 5 speed setup. (comparison of ghost lap using 5 spd with 6 spd lap)

I think part of this may come down to personal preference and possibly I dont have a wheel so use the standard controller.


Cheers,
888

He means using a 4spd. That's what the advice he gave me was and it worked. Man knows his car.

I must also point out to Pentagram if he's reading. It took me a while to figure this out, but now I know why you are making changes to my setup for your hot laps. My setup, as always, focuses on ease of use and speed, not outright speed like you're going for.

I think a lot of it comes down to different driving styles. I don't think you can do one size fits all - style tunes and get it perfect every time. What I do think is that you can find a good base point that gives a strong building block for a driver to fine tune to his taste.

There is also a massive difference between racing and hotlapping setups. Hotlapping I will sacrifice bucketloads of stability for a little bit more speed but for racing speed is nowhere near as important as stability and handling. Your original setup was a bit tight on the springs for me but when I softened the ride a bit it was nigh on perfect for online and it's probably going to be the one I use when I cream your 'vette on saturday

The changes I told you about last night were for hotlapping - they make the drive less responsive but faster overall, enough to get me under 2:01 anyroad.

Yeah, I went and took yours for a drive and can see the benefit as it feels smoother with the 4spd box and for racing I think this may be a better option, at the moment Im just setting this up for hotlapping and find a 6spd consitently quicker for me..
I still appreciate the feedback as I know I am far from perfect

As the 888 tune above stands, I just pulled a 2:02.801 which is a PB for me at Suzuka in any car. I dont know I can go much quicker using a PS3 Controller...

PS3 controller? Bah! I got a 2'02.1 using a Corvette today with a controller. But I could see the benefits of having a wheel, and a manual gearbox.

888 Tuning I tried your Ford GT Test Car setup

First thing I want to talk about is the steering angle. Personally I don't like to turn the wheel alot, and with the steering angle at 30 it felt like I had to turn the wheel (DFP) too much. So for DFP users I suggest using the setup at 40 max turn angle

I found the car very unstable, in the Suzuka esses after going through a hard left it kept wanting to keep going left if you weren't very careful.

On slow corner exits the car wanted to oversteer like crazy

I couldn't complete 1 lap with this setup after maybe 15 tries. So I added some camber to the front tires. The car was then able to change directions better and was more stable. It wasn't quite as fast through some corners as the original but alot more stable.

In the end the susepension and toe make this car very oversteery, so I suggest maybe add some camber to give us more grip.

Looking for good speed through that long sweeping right hander. Thanks!
